This year’s San Diego Comic-Con has its share of drama and controversy, but you won’t find that in our Under the Tents. All you’ll find is great SDCC news from artists like Scott C. and Todd Nauck as well as one of our bloggers who will be spending some time at CLAUS Studios’ table.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
